Scaling your Heroku Application

Overview

Now that you've provisioned FlightFormation for your Heroku application, let's get started scaling your resources up and down.

Getting going is pretty easy (I hope!). It's a two part process:

Create some formations for your application

Formations specify the size (Standard-1X, Performance-L, etc.) and quantity (x1, x2, x10, etc.) of the dynos that run your application.

Schedule your formations to autoscale your application

Schedule your formations with recurring schedules to scale your application up and down on a weekly schedule. Use one-time schedules to scale on specific dates.
